Canonical robot record

Overview

GoFa is ABB's family of collaborative robots engineered for safe, high-performance automation in shared workspaces. Unlike traditional industrial robots, GoFa is built to operate without cages or barriers, allowing it to work directly alongside human operators. The family spans several payload and reach options to suit applications ranging from light assembly to higher-payload material handling.

Safety is central to the design. Each model integrates torque sensors across all of its joints, supporting power- and force-limiting behaviour and ABB's certified SafeMove safety functions. Intelligent sensing in every joint allows the robot to detect unexpected contact and bring the arm to a stop within milliseconds, reducing the risk of injury to nearby workers.

ABB emphasizes ease of deployment, with programming handled through lead-through motion, Wizard easy programming and the FlexPendant interface. This is intended to let first-time users and smaller operations adopt automation without specialist robotics expertise, across sectors such as electronics, healthcare, consumer goods, logistics and food and beverage.

RoboZaps maintains this record as part of its canonical robotics database. Specs are source-verified where linked; the record compares public facts across manufacturers rather than representing a single robot maker.

Key Features

  • Six-axis collaborative arm designed to operate safely alongside people without cages or barriers
  • Torque sensors integrated in all joints, enabling power- and force-limiting and certified SafeMove safety functions
  • Contact detection that stops the arm within milliseconds if it touches a person or obstacle
  • Intuitive setup via lead-through motion and Wizard easy programming for non-specialist users
  • Available in multiple payload and reach variants (GoFa 5, GoFa 10, GoFa 12) for different applications
  • Optional Ultra Accuracy mode for high-precision tasks such as sealing and laser cutting

    tranche-7 verification (corrected): GoFa is a fixed collaborative arm — datasheet mounting row: 'Any angle, including table mounting, wall mounting, and ceiling mounting'. 'Wheeled' is flatly wrong (m

  • Max Speed: 1.5 m/s changed to 2.2 m/s max TCP velocity (GoFa 5; safe collaborative speed is lower per SafeMove risk assessment) · Jul 9, 2026

    tranche-7 verification (corrected): Datasheet: Max TCP Velocity 2.2 m/s for GoFa 5 (2 m/s for GoFa 10/12). Stored 1.5 m/s matches no GoFa variant — classic 'typical collaborative speed stored as max'
